Popis: There is a relative paucity of studies that characterized racial disparities in revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Therefore, this study was specifically conducted to evaluate the following: (1) incidence; (2) annual burden; (3) causes; and (4) age group distribution of revision TKA among different racial groups in the US sample population. The PearlDiver database was utilized to identify patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) who underwent primary then subsequent revision TKA from January 2007 to December 2014. Patients were stratified by race, and subset stratification by age was also performed. In each racial cohort, the overall incidence of revision TKA, annual revision burdens, and causes of revisions were calculated and compared. Additionally, a sub-analysis for the incidence of revision TKA stratified by age, in each cohort, was performed. Statistical analysis was performed to demonstrate revision incidence, burden, causes, and age distribution. Revision incidence and burden were the highest in the African-American cohort (12.4%, 11.1%), (p
